Concerns over "racial attacks" made online by a former top prosecutor in the U.S. attorney's office has prompted former New Orleans Affordable Homeownership Program Director Stacey Jackson to ask a federal judge for access to a slew of internal Justice Department records. Jackson, who is charged with conspiracy, theft and bribery in what investigators say was a kickback scheme, wants the government to turn over evidence of prosecutorial misconduct referenced in an explosive 129-page ruling in the Danziger Bridge case this week.

Jackson filed a motion Friday asking for access to an investigative report at the center of a blistering order issued Tuesday (Sept. 17) by U.S. District Judge Kurt Engelhardt. The order grants a new trial for five former police officers convicted in connection to a fatal shooting on the Danziger Bridge after Hurricane Katrina. Engelhardt's order cites "grotesque prosecutorial misconduct" in the U.S. attorney's office as the primary reason for his decision, including revelations that two former top prosecutors consistently authored inflammatory comments on NOLA.com about open federal cases.

Jackson's motion cites specific examples of what she says are racially charged and derogatory online comments targeting her and other African-American public officials including former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, that were later traced to former Assistant U.S. Attorney Sal Perricone. Nagin filed a motion this week for an indefinite trial delay citing Perricone's derogatory online comments as a significant factor.

In requesting all reports related to investigations into Perricone and former First Assistant Jan Mann, who also left comments about federal cases on NOLA.com, Jackson's attorney Eddie Castaing aims to "show a pattern of similar governmental conduct, system and intent to violate the law and procedure."

Under the moniker "campstblue" Perricone published a comment on NOLA.com in reference to the service of subpoenas for NOAH documents on New Orleans City Council members that read:

Well, man--you know, man. I didn't know anything about dis stuff, man, you hear what I'm saying, man. You know, man, like you always looking for something negative to write about, man. How's dis going to help the recovery, man, you hear what I'm saying, man. We just trying to make it back, man. Didn't you hear what I said man, dis is a chocolate city, man, and we do things the chocolate way, man - you hear what I'm saying man?

TRANSLATION: It's our turn to steal. We got the power. You can't do anything to us.

God Bless the US Attorneys Office !!!!!!!!!

Castaing writes in the motion that in his comment, Perricone "attempts to somehow remind the community that it must not allow the African American community to get away with its penchant for public corruption."

"Pervasive racial blogs and remarks, within the United States Attorney's Office, will show and bolster that this grand jury indictment was racially motivated," Castaing wrote.

Jackson was indicted in June on four counts of conspiracy, theft of federal funds, bribery and obstruction of justice. Investigators say she steered federal funds to several people, who then kicked back some of the money to her through cash payments, property purchases and, in a couple of instances, paying for landscaping work at her mother's home.
